Key Features
• High-performance digital output switching for any CompactRIO embedded system, R Series expansion chassis, or NI CompactDAQ system • Screw-terminal, strain relief, high-voltage, cable, solder-cup backshell, and other connectivity options • Channel-to-earth ground double-isolation barrier for safety and noise immunity • NI CompactRIO Extreme Industrial Certifications and Ratings Visit ni.com/compactrio or ni.com/compactdaq for up-to-date information on module availability, example programs, application notes, and other developer tools. Typical certifications – Actual specifications vary from product to product. Visit ni.com/certification for details.
System Compatibility
You can use NI C Series modules interchangeably in CompactRIO and NI CompactDAQ chassis. Many of the advanced timing features described apply only to CompactRIO reconfigurable I/O systems and not to NI CompactDAQ.
Advanced Features
When used in CompactRIO, C Series digital output modules connect directly to reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA hardware to create highperformance embedded systems. The reconfigurable FPGA hardware within CompactRIO provides a variety of options for timing, triggering, synchronization, digital waveform generation, or digital communication. For instance, with CompactRIO you can implement a circuit to generate
